"Don't be afraid."
Zoe had just about finished telling misty all about her, and misty was quite surprised with some of the things said.
"The supreme killed you? Misty asked, wanting to make sure she heard that correctly. Zoe nodded. Fiona stood nervously in the corner of the room. She was most definitely scared. Misty lifted her finger at fiona, making fionas eyes roll back in her head, and be lifted up to the ceiling. Misty slowly turned her hand to the left, choking Fiona. Then, with her other hand, she snapped her fingers. Fiona was turned to ash.
"Back to you." Misty said, turning back to zoe.
"I find a lot of interest in you. In all my years of living, I've never seen and felt anyone as powerful as you besides myself." Misty added. Zoe smiled at her, finally feeling some type of home.
"I'd like to be your personal mentor. You could come live with me in my empire." Misty said. Zoe nodded immediately, this was the greatest thing she'd heard.
"When do we leave?" Zoe asked. Misty stood up, and smiled.
"At dawn. But first, I have to go back to where I've been staying. There's a boy there that I need to help."
Before misty could walk away, zoe realized who misty was speaking of. She had almost forgotten that Kyle was missing.
"Is he blonde?" Zoe asked. Misty stopped walking, slowly nodding. Zoe felt a wash of relief knowing he was safe. But, how did the queen find him?
"His name is Kyle. He died. Found him screaming at his memorial." Misty stated. Zoe put her hand over her mouth. She felt horrible for him.
"Let me go with you. He left us earlier today and we couldn't find him." Zoe said. Misty shrugged, and began walking out the room. Zoe grabbed nans arm, and led her with them.

Lots of walking later, Misty, Nan, and zoe arrived at the small cabin in the middle of the woods.
"He's in there?" Zoe asked. Misty nodded, then opened the door. Zoe saw kyle, handcuffed against the bed. He was still trying to get out of the handcuffs.
Zoe crouched next to kyle, and he desperately looked into her eyes. "Kyle.." kyle shook his wrists over and over again, he wanted the handcuffs off.
"Where's the key?" Zoe asked. Misty grabbed a key from her dresser drawer, but it didn't look like a normal key. It was practically glowing, and zoe could just feel the power coming off of it.
"It's enchanted. It's a special type of key to lock up people with our certain powers. It blocks them." Misty said before zoe could ask. Zoe looked back at Kyle, then back at misty.
"Why use them on kyle then?" Zoe asked. Misty unlocked the handcuffs on both his hands, and then stared at her confused.
"What do you mean? He's certainly not a mortal. Are you saying he's not a witch?" Misty asked. Kyle used his newly freed hands to tug on the bottom of zoe's shirt, bringing her closer to him.
"I'm not sure what he is. I just brung him back from the dead." Zoe said, then hugged kyle tightly. He hugged her back, and he didn't want to let go. He felt safe with her. It was the only person he knew in the room. Even though he didn't really know zoe.
"Well, you brung him back. So he's your responsibility. He can come live with us in the kingdom." Misty replied. Zoe lightly sighed to herself. This magical kingdom sounded like it was coming straight out of a Disney movie.
"Sorry if I'm being disrespectful, but this all sounds so..unreal." Zoe blurted out. Misty laughed.
"Well, being a witch is sort of unreal isn't it? You truly haven't been introduced to your culture, and the royal witches at all. You'll have to get used to it. My second."
Zoe looked confused. Misty had called her, her second. What was a second? And would zoe be that worthy to be one?
"What's a second?" Zoe asked. Misty sat down on the edge of her bed.
"A second is someone who would rule next when I die. But, until then you'd have a say in every decision, and you'd be able to help me." Misty replied.
"But you're immortal?" Zoe asked. Misty packed a few things in her suitcase, including stuff off of the wall. It seemed like she had been living there for a while
"Technically, yes. But, if people find out you're powerful like me, worthy to be queen, they'll go against me and want you. They'd make us fight in an arena." Misty said. Zoe stood up, grabbing kyles arms up so he stood too.
"Then they won't know. No one will know." Zoe said back. Misty opened her door, and led kyle and Zoe out. She shut the door behind them, sighing before looking back at Zoe.
"Everyone will know you're my second. Because I'll tell them. They dont have to know how powerful you are, but they know what a second is." Misty explained. Zoe walked with misty, kyles hand in hers. Nan also followed next to them.
"Im immortal though. I can't die. I've tried to die." Zoe said back. Misty softly smiled at her.
"There's always a way to die."
Nan decided to ask the question nobody had asked yet.
"Where are we going?"
Misty lifted her hand up against a tree, and it started glowing a bright blue. The tree began to open up, forming a little passageway. None of them could see what was in that passageway, but it was just blue. Glowing blue.
"Are we going through there?" Zoe asked. Kyle seemed scared of the glowing blue passage, he began to be squeamish, so zoe held his arms with hers.
"Hey, hey. It'll be okay. I promise I won't let anything hurt you." Zoe said to him, trying to calm him down.
"Through there is the kingdom." Misty said, and she stepped in the passageway. Nan did too, and so did kyle and Zoe..slowly.
